Because it is used for calculation of some electrodynamic models (antennae, filters, grids etc). It requires a lot of memory and computational power. In my office, there are 4 such computers. But it is offtop here.

Quote (smjjames) THANK YOU! I kept having that problem constantly after using the star browser, I swore that there was a memory leak or something and the slowdown could get worse over time.

It was not a memory leak, SE just tries to render 10-20 planetary systems at once. Star browser forces SE to generate all neighboring systems, and many of them have so big size (radius of a outermost planet), so it is bigger that 1 pixel on the screen. So SE must render it. I increased the limit radius to 10 pixels, and make a separate list of planetary system for use with Star browser, so it not affects the main render list. Ie Star browser generates systems in a some sort of sandbox, not related with a renderer.

So to fix that slow-down, you may just fly far away from the point where you are. 100-200 pc in enough.

Well, I had no idea what was going on at the time and so I thought there was a memory leak somehow. At least the performance will be better in this patch.

Then the WIKI contradicts itself. The List of Spiral Galaxies page indeed gives class SBa... but the Milky Way main page gives SBc. Further, the Milky Way main pages in other languages (French, for example) often spezify SBbc. But then the Wiki is only as good as its contributors (and moderators!) make it....

SE window saves its size, location and fullscreen stare in the config and restores them in the next launch

This screenshot is taken in the 1280x720 fullscreen mode:

A list of all available fullscreen modes. Default refresh frequency is 60 Hz and can be adjusted only in config. Default bpp is 32 bit and can't be changed. I think you wont use 16 bit color in SE:) And Windows 8 supports only 32 bit colors BTW.

Updated Display settings menu: options for toggle to fullscreen, choosing fullscreen and windowed mode resolution, VSync, anisotropy level SE window saves its size, location and fullscreen stare in the config and restores them in the next launch

Can you please explain where i can download this? And what i have to do to work. Thank you.
